Jesus said several times, “Come, follow me. ” His was a program of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say. ” His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind.

I love Elizabeth Taylor. I'm inspired by her bravery. She has been through so much and she is a survivor. That lady has been through a lot and she's walked out of it on two feet.

Robinson did not merely play at center stage. He was center stage; and wherever he walked, center stage moved with him.
I was in awe every time I walked on to the field

When she walked through the woods (infrequently now) she picked her way along the path, making way for the boy inside to run along before her. It could be hard to choose the time outside over the time within. Almondine from The Story of Edgar Sawtelle
